1 OHIO AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATICN Northwestern Substation, Hoytville, Ohio Department of Horticulture Mimeograph Series No. 204 March 29, 1960 FIELD TOMATO VARIETY TRIALS Hoytville, Ohio WALTER N. BROWN* The 1959 field tomato variety trials included twenty varieties replicated five times (Table 1), and twenty varieties in single plots (Table 2). Those varieties that performed well in the 1958 trials are included in the replicated tri4ls along with several new varieties and suitable standard types as checks. The single plot trial stage include newly introduced varieties and some numbered strains in the advanced stage or those about ready for introduction. Several F1 hybrids are also included. CULTURAL INFORMATION Plants were greenhouse and frame grown, 70 per standard flat. They were set in field on June 2, 1959, with starter - 3 lbs. per 50 gal. water. Approxi mately 5 tons of manure on 2-year alfalfa sod were plowed down and 1000 lbs/acf fertilizer was drilled and disked in after plowing. One side dressing of 100 lbs/a of ammonium nitrate was applied with cultivator attachment on July 20. Plots contained 40 plants space 24" in rows 6' apart. Five sprays of Manzate were applied at approximately weekly intervals beginning July 6. HARVEST DATA Records: First harvest was made on August 18 and last harvest on September 28. All fruits were graded on basis of u.s. No. 1, No. 2 for color, No. 2 for defects, and culls. These grades are recorded as percentages of early, mid-season, late and total yields. Each fruit was classified as either cracked or not-cracked and the Petcentage of cracked fruits computed with no attempt being made to classify the fruits as to extent or kind of cracking. The yields are recorded in Tables 1 and 2 according to: Early - August 18 through August 24; Mid-season - August 31 through September 14; Late - September 21 through September 28; and total for the entire harvest period.
